THE COMPANY (part 2)

Under discussion:

The Company  (2007)

Part 2, the full-on action act of The Company.  The primary plot-thread is the Hungarian revolution with all sorts of crazy war-time filming that is usually reserved for the big screen.  Also, we get some torture sequences by some folks who aren't as skilled with their craft as Jack Bauer. 

Back at the offices, Michael Keaton's James Angleton is thoroughly explored.  Chris O'Donnell may have the series' lead character, but Angleton is by far the most compelling.  A master spy experienced with intelligence agencies across the world, he heads up the counter-intel group and tirelessly pursues a mole within the CIA's upper ranks.  He's an isolated, quirky, self-righteous guy, and yet you want him to succeed.  Keaton steals all the scenes he's in.
